PREVENTION OF SCREEN BURN

This Wide Screen TV is designed to display wide screen pictures. Images should be viewed mostly in wide screen format or zoomed to fill the screen with moving pictures. Use of side panels, top and bottom panels of standard picture formats should only be 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age more rapidly than the gray areas. Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to television receivers. Such “SCREEN BURNS” constitute misuse and are NOT

COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV

CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if they are placed too

close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no picture distortion.

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system’s external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

NOTES: 1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is

played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

2. The DVI-HDTV input on INPUT 1 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using DVI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents.

3. DVI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of uncompressed video to a display.

4. The connected digital output device controls the DVI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance.

Depending on the input signal, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options. 4:3 Standard Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) images.

left and right of the image to preserve the original aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for only 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age more rapidly than the black areas.

4:3 Expanded use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) sources by linearly increasing image expansion from

the center towards the edges of the display area in order to fill it. 4:3 Zoom1/Zoom2 Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources. 16:9 Standard Use this aspect mode to display 16:9 sources like HDTV and DVD’s preserving the original 16:9 aspect

ratio. 16:9 Zoom Use this aspect mode to zoom 16:9 images.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR TV

 VIRTUAL HD button

Press this button to toggle between 1080i and 540p. 540p and 1080i represent two ways to display the TV signal.

• Progressive: The “p” in 540p tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the progressive format.With the progressive format the complete picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from the top to the bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space between each line. The progressive format is good for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting event.

• Interlaced: The “i” in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced format the picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from top to bottom, and then returning to the top and drawing another set of lines in between the first set. The TV draws the lines so fast that our eyes can’t see them. If you look very closely at the screen you will notice a smoother image than with the progressive format. The interlaced format is good for displaying detailed images like feature films.

•You can compare the progressive and interlaced formats by toggling the “VIRTUAL HD” button on the remote control. Some people like the crisp picture from 540p and some people like the smooth and detailed 1080i. Hitachi offers you the choice.
